How Animals Meet Their Needs
This user-friendly interactive game allows students to use clues to learn about how animals use different adaptations to survive. Students get immediate feedback on the selections they make.
After viewing a picture of an animal and reading a description of the animal's adaptation, students decide which need the adaptation addresses. Students choose from oxygen, climate, food, water, and shelter/protection. This strengthens students' knowledge of animal needs while helping them realize that animals have adapted to meet their needs. This can be used as a formative assessment, individual, small group, or whole class activity. Students can use white boards to write their choice as the game is projected for the whole class.
